MANILA— Metro Manila has vaccinated about 8 in 10 of its target population against COVID-19, Malacañang said on Thursday.
Metro Manila is the epicenter of the country's coronavirus outbreak. Officials earlier said putting the capital region on top of the vaccine priority will also protect other areas. Metro Manila has the highest vaccine coverage among all regions, followed by the Cordilleras, with nearly 35 percent of the target population fully inoculated as of Oct. 18, based on data analyzed by the ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group.
In total, the Philippines has administered some 53.8 million COVID-19 shots as of Wednesday, including 28.9 million first jabs, Roque said in a press briefing.
Which is 56% of thr NCR population, so why not say that?
